Major League Gaming


Looks like an ad. I'd say delete. Big  top  22:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, notable and easily cleanable Valoem   talk  22:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, though right now it does sort of read like an ad. Needs some editing.  Rampa geouS   22:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep and close Very clearly passes WP:CORP. AfD is the place to discuss deletions, not article cleanups. -- Kicking222 22:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I have just cleaned the article massively. Valoem   talk  22:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment First of all, all or most of the sources can be found at www.mlgpro.com. Second of all, yes, we need to stick to MLG's history more, that is a big problem that needs to be fixed.  So, in order to fix this problem, we need to make SUBPAGES that thoroughly explain the most successful and popular pros and teams over the course of MLG's history.  I have started some of that to minimize some of the irrelevance.  Check out the Star Wars wikipage and tell me how long the article would be if they included all the subpages' within subpages' within subpages' articles in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arrashju (talk • contribs) (article author)
 * Response I strongly disagree that there should be subpages for the individual gamers who play MLG.  None of them meet WP:BIO.  User:Arrashju has created numerous articles on gamers, all of which have been speedily deleted (except for the 8 year old who was on 60 Minutes).  Further, this user's only contributions have been articles about MLG and edits to other articles (such as Sport) promoting MLG.  NawlinWiki 12:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Response Don't assume every article is not going to be like the one I made on LiL Poison. When I add MLG to the sports section I am stating the facts.  I am not trying to promote MLG, I am just trying to have a place to show ignorant folks what MLG is about.  Also, every last one of the links I made to certain players meet more than one specific of this requirement: This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, scholarly papers, and television documentaries2.
